The sharpest price rise by far is for chipolatas, up 42.7% to £2.13 for a packet of 12.

Christmas dinner will be nearly 22% more expensive this year than in 2021, according to new research for the BBC.

Retail research firm Assosia analysed the average price of seven products across Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons and Lidl as well as Aldi click-and-collect. Some of these - energy prices and the cost of grain-based animal feed - are linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while others stem from Brexit, such as a lingering shortage of labour after freedom of movement ended, which has forced wages to rise.

For those plumping for a turkey this year, they are likely to spend more for their bird, even if they go for a cheaper frozen option, which Assosia says will cost 21% more than 2021 at £20.23.
